Ingredients

2 cups gluten-free biscuit/baking mix
3/4 cup sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup warm water (110 ° to 115 °)
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions
